Chapter 20
Shen Wei's kindergarten, Starry Sky Kindergarten, was flourishing and thriving.
Shen Qingqing had heard about Shen Wei starting a kindergarten and almost laughed herself to death!
The two were relatives, around the same age.
Shen Qingqing felt she was better than Shen Wei, but just didn't have her family background.
Both had graduated from university, but Shen Qingqing was still job hunting. College graduates were everywhere these days, and she was just an ordinary university graduate, making it extremely difficult for her to find a job.
She paid extra attention to where Shen Wei was working.
Then she heard from relatives that Shen Wei wasn't looking for a job - she had started her own kindergarten.
At first, Shen Qingqing mocked her.
What kindergarten could someone who didn't study well open? Wouldn't that just mislead the children?
But after the mocking came envy.
It was just that Shen Wei's family was wealthy, so she could do whatever she wanted.
This was a condition many lacked.
And they had started from the same line, but Shen Wei was ahead.
How unfair was that?
Especially recently, when Shen Qingqing's parents went to visit her aunt and uncle and lavishly praised how excellent Shen Wei was.
Shen Qingqing was infuriated.
Why was Shen Wei so much better than others just because of her good family background?
People used to say Shen Wei was just lucky.
Having a wealthy dad, but now the comments gradually changed to: "She's made it!" Everyone's comments were positive.
Shen Qingqing felt panicked, fearing she would be crushed by Shen Wei if this continued.
Then an evil plan formed in her mind!
At 8pm in a popular livestreamer's channel with usually 300,000 concurrent viewers, where gifting 500 yuan could get you 3 minutes of voice connection.
She gifted a carnival.
Soon the streamer contacted her.
"Hello, how can I help you?" The streamer's voice came through as the livestream chat scrolled endlessly.
Shen Qingqing's voice came through the mic: "There's something I don't know if I should leak, but I can't bear the guilt anymore!"
"I have a cousin sister who used to be a really poor student. She also disliked children, but for some reason she's now in education and around kids every day!"
"Honestly, I'm concerned for those children's mental health. If their parents knew what kind of person my cousin used to be, they definitely wouldn't leave their kids with her."
"But I don't know how to say it, since we're relatives after all."
As Shen Qingqing finished, the livestream exploded. The information she leaked was too much.
Although she didn't say her sister did anything specific.
But her evasive attitude made people feel inexplicably horrified.
Could it be child abuse?
The streamer's channel was usually for emotional call-ins, this was the first time dealing with something like this.
The streamer immediately became cautious.
Child abuse and campus violence frequently trended recently.
This could be a huge trending topic.
The streamer immediately probed: "Can you share more specific details?"
But that one question seemed to scare the girl on voice connection, and she immediately went offline.
This made everyone in the livestream feel something was off.
What a kind girl, she must have had reservations.
Otherwise, as a relative, how could she just openly attack like that?
She must have crossed a line.
Exposing this was right - who knew what kind of people were running kindergartens? What if they were evil teachers? For the children, that would be a lifelong trauma.
Adding to that the recent horrific child abuse incidents and frequent campus violence made everyone more vigilant, and opinions flooded in.
"It's unimaginable that someone in education could lack love for children. How can such a person be a teacher? Isn't there oversight from regulators?"
"The girl who leaked it was so brave, I wouldn't have the guts. She dared to make it public, hope no one tries to dig into her identity, otherwise no one will speak up about these things again."
"Oh my god, I'm so worried about those kids, what exactly happened? Someone spill it quickly, I'm dying here."
Shen Qingqing went offline but didn't leave, listening to everyone's comments.
The streamer immediately reported it to the police.
Others started digging into Shen Qingqing's ID to find her city.
Then they began searching government registration platforms one by one to find information on the kindergarten.
Shen Qingqing had said two important things: the person in charge was young and female, running a newly opened kindergarten.
With this information, it was easy to pinpoint.
The power of netizens was immense - it took less than an hour to identify Starry Sky Kindergarten.
The initially praised 260 yuan tuition fee was now a target of criticism.
"I checked their website, their renovations are top-notch. With such nice renovations, charging only 260 yuan for admission, there must be a sinister motive."
"Oh my god, could it be using low prices to attract people, then starting horrific child abuse? After all, parents lured by low prices probably don't have much ability to fight back if something is discovered. Just thinking about it is terrifying, guys."
"Isn't anyone managing this?"
Calls were made to tag the local education bureau, business administration, tax authorities, police stations, and more.
Some even called the city's reporting hotline overnight.
Saying this incident must be investigated thoroughly, children can't fall into the hands of demons.
The incident was sudden but had a huge impact, especially occurring on such a popular livestream. Many people couldn't sleep that night.
Shen Wei had a system monitoring public opinion.
Within a short time, the system summarized all the details for Shen Wei.
Including many other kindergartens secretly trying to ride this hype.
That the leaker was Shen Qingqing, and more.
Under the system's intense scrutiny, these people had nowhere to hide.
Teacher Tang and Doctor Lu called Shen Wei overnight, wanting to come up with a solution quickly.
Once the rumor formed, it would be hard to dispel.
Shen Wei released a video response overnight: "First, thank you to everyone for the oversight."
"Our kindergarten aims to provide boutique small classes. As a new startup, our fees are low. I welcome supervision from society. If any wrongdoing occurs, I'm willing to take full responsibility."
The video caused ripples online, some believed it, some didn't.
But with Shen Wei's direct clarification, the previously one-sided situation started to shift slightly.
"This is my senior from university, she was always very kind, even feeding stray cats. Definitely not like what everyone said."
"Who exactly is spreading these rumors? Over 500 reposts is enough for criminal charges."
At this point, Shen Wei replied to this comment: "I will sue the rumor spreader. This spread qualifies for at least 10 years in prison. Wait for the court summons."
Sitting by her computer and watching, Shen Qingqing didn't expect that not only would Shen Wei's kindergarten not fall into her trap from the malicious attack, Shen Wei would use legal means to protect herself.
And even threaten to sue, it made Shen Qingqing panic suddenly.
